Thanks to cross party colleagues for signing our

letter to Energy Minister urging her to scrap new Bill to “max out” N. Sea’s oil & gas reserves. It undermines our global

Govt said

oil field would cut energy bills - then Energy Sec admitted it wouldn't. Govt said it would boost energy security - now Minister admits vast majority of oil won't be used here. So what is Rosebank for, other than climate destruction?

After three years of parliamentary questions and an FOI nudge, the govt has published the 'business case' for @OfficeforEP

I've tabled a 'reasoned amendment' to try & halt the Govt's plan to require annual oil and gas licencing rounds.
It's unnecessary, won’t bring down bills or deliver energy security, and is economic & environmental madness.
